Well, in the instance of Ne-Yo and his wife Crystal Renay Smith, COVID actually did the complete opposite. We’ll let the prince of male-pattern baldness explain in his own words.
“The pandemic saved my marriage,” Ne-Yo told Good Morning Britain “We were talking full-on divorce. It forced us to sit down and talk about our problems and re-connect with our kids. There’s only so much FaceTime you can do.”
In the pandemic, we lost a lot of people, but in my case it helped a lot of instances in my life. We had brutally honest conversations,” he added regarding his dynamic with Smith over that time.
